Go "Green" for Football!

September 02, 2009

With the start of college football this weekend, it's important to remember to go green - regardless of whether you cheer for the Crimson and White or Blue and Maze! It may take some extra planning to make your tailgating more eco-friendly, but follow these tips to help reduce your impact on our Earth.

Use recycled trash bags, making sure to fill each as full as possible

Be sure to include bags or boxes for recycling glass and aluminum cans

Don't bring lots of individually wrapped snacks, they create a ton of waste

Avoid plastic cups by asking friends to bring personal water bottles or their reusable souvenir cups from previous games

Haul off excess fruits & veggies for composting

Wear vintage game gear - from your closet or found in re-sell shops - rather than buying new every year
